Roads to Rome

It’s never to late to run back homeOur dog is waiting and I’ll be sleeping by the phoneIt’s never to late to come back homeBack screen door is open I’ll be hoping all alone

V2

I know she said she’d always be on my teamBut now that time is gone the game is overUp late one night we got into this huge fightShe screamed I laughed with her shoes she blew out the front door

Bridge

Don’t you know I will find youDon’t you know I’ll be thereDon’t you know I’m right behind youDon’t you know that I’ve always caredDon’t you know I’m not going anywhereBut anyhow how would you know

Chorus

Just like all the roads always led to Rome It’s just like all my love that finds a home in your heartJust like all the roads always led to Rome It’s just like all my love that finds a home in your heartWe could get so close So close so close so close

Bridge

Chorus

It’s never to late to run back homeOur dog is waiting and I’ll be sleeping by the phoneIt’s never to late to come back homeBack screen door is open I’ll be hoping all alone

Notice You

Notice You Rich Leveringc. - 2011

V1

I can’t help but notice youAnd when you talk to me You make me feel brand new

V2

Just like a newbornWe had the cleanest slateYou say “let’s step outside”I said "I could not wait"

Chorus

If it makes you happyPlease know that I’ll be hereEven when I am gone My love will still be thereTo comfort you

V3

You always look your bestSleeping in the morning timeAnd every since that day we metThis heart ache has been no friend of mine

V4

And now we have gone our separate waysAs lovers often doBut I can still feel to your skinEver since the day I notice you

Chorus

When I try to forget youMy memories begin to floodNow I can’t shake youBecause I still feel your heart In my blood In my blood

V5

I can’t help but have all this love for youAnd when my life is over I"ll leave this world with one thing trueThis unconditional love for youEvery since that day we meet Every since I noticed you
